Background
History
Sunderland North, as can be inferred from the name, formed the northern part of the County Borough (now City) of Sunderland. The constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act 1948 for the 1950 general election when the existing two-member Sunderland seat was split into two. Fulwell was transferred from Houghton-le-Spring. It was abolished for the 2010 general election when it was replaced by the new constituency of Sunderland Central, with the exception of the two western wards of Castle and Redhill, which were transferred to the new constituency of Washington and Sunderland West. It was considered to be a safe seat for the Labour Party throughout its existence.
